A reader who, after reading Rothenberg's article, "Television and Children" (PIR 1:329, 1980), wrote to obtain information on guidelines for selecting television viewing for children, got no reply from Children's Television Inc, which is no longer active. Dr. Rothenberg suggests that inquiries be directed to: Ms Alice March, The Coalition for Children and TV, 10906 Rochester Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024.

The ACR-1000™ design is an evolutionary advancement of the proven CANDU® reactor design that delivers enhanced economic performance, safety, operability and maintainability. The fuel for the ACR-1000 design is based on the well established CANDU fuel bundle design that has over 40 years of demonstrated high performance. Building on its extensive experience in fuel design and analysis, and fuel testing, AECL has designed a CANFLEX-ACR™ fuel bundle that incorporates the latest improvements in CANDU fuel bundle design. The ACR-1000 fuel bundle also includes features that enable the ACR-1000 to achieve higher fuel burn-up and improved reactor core physics characteristics. To verify that the CANFLEX-ACR fuel bundle design will meet and exceed all design requirements, an extensive program of design analysis and testing is being carried out. This program rigorously evaluates the ability of the fuel design to meet all design and performance criteria and particularly those related to fuel failure limits. The design analyses address all of the phenomena that affect the fuel during its residence in the reactor core. Analysis is performed using a suite of computer codes that are used to evaluate the temperatures, deformations, stresses and strains experienced by the fuel bundle during its residence in the reactor core. These analyses take into account the impact of fuel power history and core residence time. Complementing the analyses, testing is performed to demonstrate the compatibility of the fuel with the reactor heat transport system and fuel handling systems, and to demonstrate the ability of the fuel to withstand the mechanical forces that it will experience during its residence in the core. The testing program includes direct measurement of prototype fuel element and fuel bundle properties and performance limits. A number of different test facilities are used including a cold test loop and a hot test loop with a full-scale ACR-1000 fuel channel that operates at reactor coolant temperatures, pressures and flows. This paper summarizes the out-reactor test program and related analysis that provide the basis for verifying that the ACR-1000 fuel design meets its requirements.

The finding of mean television viewing time of 3.5 hours daily for nonhospitalized children was based on the average of 25 viewing hours per week presented by Rubinstein1 referenced in our paper.2 In fact, 3.5 hours of daily viewing may be a conservative estimate according to figures presented in some of our other references3,4 as well as audience viewing surveys reported in Action for Children's Television literature, which suggest the figure may actually be closer to 4.0 hours per day for the average child.
